Yes everybody is already resilient( the forum people and real life people including me) . I have been through all the tough times such as death of a loved one , trauma,threat(right now I realised that the person who threatened me is the don of college - so I atleast told him ethically that I was hurt by his threat, which could be a sign of courage),rejection,exam failure,jealousy etc.

By the way last year I approached 56 girls and got a one blowout. Also that totals up to near about 76. Which is the amount of girls I approached in my life including random + known girls. @nhoktinvt that's ok. However, I fear approaching random strangers because guys here are too insecure and threatening.And also I said "I love you " to 3 girls in my life. Thank you guys for the appreciation.

@universe yeah absolutely.

@CARDOZZO yes I am approaching the girls in my class but not strangers .

?

I feeling very bad, suffering , angry etc. What must I do ? My friends advice me to cheat during exams but I don't listen to them and give the exam with integrity. As a result I have lowest GPA in my friend circle. @Leo Gura and others I need help.I study for almost every exam in my college from internals to semester exams.I am also active and I answer in the class. I do meditate (daily from 3 years) and contemplate. Is there a bright future for me ?

@Thought Art ok . Thank you.

@Thought Art Yes. No. Is it true for doing PhD outside India or abroad from a good university ? Like one has to give IELTS , GRE and have a descent GPA ( in other terms CGPA of 8.0 and above) which I don't have. Tommorow is my lab exam and I am fearful of it.

@Thought Art yeah integrity matters but I fear for my future due to my GPA and the harder I try to increase my GPA the more I become disappointed and angry because it is decreasing .

Mark Manson's both books and Ryan Holiday's book Obstacle is the way. Will again re read it .

By the way guys I have a question that how do I generate hope in my life if things suck ?

@UnbornTao from the book Obstacle is the way - main takeaway : Every negative situation has got something positive in it . From Mark Manson's 1st book - one must be honest and as I result it will produce success and happiness as side effect.

@Shawn Philips yes I have a medical condition and am on antidepressants for years since 2019 but how did you know it ? Is optimism a solution to my negative thoughts cause I have optimism as my root value which I discovered doing the exercises of Mark Manson's find your purpose course (the 3rd or 4th time )?

Is becoming aware of the thoughts and then focussing on one's career/life purpose the key ?

?

@OBEler ok .

@CARDOZZO yeah since it would be during winter

@Osaid old camera will still look good on him. @OBEler ya you are right but haven't you noticed that this break is usually longer than 2 months. I guess is he ok or busy in making courses. @CARDOZZO yeah absolutely. @UnbornTao it was an unusual stop haha.

@OBEler Well yeah that might be true but atleast we can get an info from him that when he will return as it has been 5 months since he released a video ?

@Bazooka Jesus hahaha .😂

@CARDOZZO yeah that's right but we have to customize Leo's teachings to different versions as he once said because what he says may apply in USA but will not explicitly not apply to other parts of the world ( in most cases it applies except dating advice). So we need to first think and then act.

@Bazooka Jesus sorry didn't understand your joke .😂

I have got results but they are like up and down cycle .

@CARDOZZO I am already meditating daily since December of 2019, contemplating since January 2021 up until now which is good.I don't believe in NLP since I have tried psuedoscientific approach such as Law of attraction which ended in disappointment.

@CARDOZZOok. Thank you.
